Shmeal wrote:I would have to ask, why?Yes, or any other case with the same form factor. Mid tower is not an option

Shmeal wrote:Alright, I've decided to go with the SG01 for my case. Any motherboard preferences out there? Not sure what I should ask for in a matx board

I looked one over at Fry's and it was smaller and much lighter than it looked in the pictures, and its proportions are more pleasing to my eye than many of the other, squatter SG cases. At first it seemed like it might be a really nice case for people needing a fairly portable SFF box for LAN parties, but the arrangement of components (particularly the space available for a video card and the possible collision of the PSU with everything else) looked a little problematic. Not to mention cooling. But as long as you picked your parts carefully and didn't demand absolutely the highest performance, it might be an option.
